Oh, now since you've been gone I've had time to myselfI havn't even tried to find somebody elseWhen you told me you were leaving you know it almost came as good newsIt may sound funny but it's true I think I'm better off with the blues.

Listen, I must admit that I miss you sometimesNot a day goes by baby that you don't cross my mindBut at the same time I think of all the hell you put me throughAnd it's the lesser of two evils I guess I'm better off with the blues.

You know someday I'm gonna wake up and these blues will be goneAnd I'll forget about you and the way you did me wrongBut if you had stayed I'd be dead in my tracksYou know I still love you baby but I sho' don't want you back, no no.

Oh, tonight I'm gonna go down to the sad site of townSit there by myself and just start pourin' 'em downAnd I'll know just what to say when someone asks about youI'll say, yeah, we had a good time but I think I'm better off with the blues, yeah.

I said woman if I had to choose I think I'm better off with the blues, yeah...
